I want the government off of my white ass. I want the gays, hetero, enviros, blacks, greens, and pinks to get a life and leave me alone. I’m sick to death of taxes, fines and punishments imposed by lefty governments. How can an off leash fine be $200? Get rid of these bureaucrats. Whats wrong with being a libertarian? or a Conservative? Lets get everyone a gun so that the people around us play nice.

Yeah, Gavin, it’s all messed up to hell in a hand basket. If I ever get a watchdog I’m going to call him Gavin. I’m thinking a big Pibull or Rottweiler. He’ll have to have a good sense of the absurd. I might have to feed him meat.

Haha very cool rant, maybe the others don’t get the joke, but I do. All of us who want to make government smaller are conservatives. It doesn’t matter to what degree. Every conservative will have his own reasons and also their own ideal size of government. An anarchist is inherently a conservative. Glad to have you aboard! “The Man” is no longer the big companies, it is the unions, the media, the bureaucracies, and above all else, it is the judicial system with their [de]evolving definition of freedom.

When one considers the political spectrum, on the far left of the political scale you have 100% government and on the far right 0% government, that is, anarchy, which is no government. Evidence of the latter is seen in the recent riots in Baltimore.
Sorry, Gavin, according to my definition of a “conservative”, as someone who is opposed to excessive government interference in our lives, which in the extreme leads to socialism, communism and Nazism/fascism, all totalitarian forms of government, as you acknowledge at the end of your rant, you are a “conservative”, although somewhat less polished than Ezra. :-)
